T o all whom 'it may concern.'

' Beit known that we, WILLIAM JQ OSULLI- VAN and 'ILLIMI l). lVATsoN, citizens of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Weather and Dust. Strip, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in weather stripping for windows, doors, transoms and other such like openings and the objects of our inventions are, first, to provide a packing for the spaces that ordinarily occur between sash or doors and their frames for the purpose of preventing the passage through these openings of air, water, dust, smoke, fog, vapor, hail, snow, frost', rain, soot, dirt, or any other foreign substance desired 'to be excluded; from the interior of buildings, cars, water craft and other such like structures; and second, to provide for windows a system of weather stripping that packs tightly all theY spaces ordinarily occuringaround the sash, automatic in its action, easy to operate, concealed from view, and unnecessary to remove for any purpose eX- cept repairs. VVe attain these objects in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1, is an outside elevation of an ordi- -nary box frame window showing the pulley Stiles, head and sill of frame in section. Fig. 2, is a top view of upper sash. Fig. 3, is a side view of upper and lower sash. Fig. 4, is a side elevation of weather strip for sides of sash shown as for sash B. Fig. 5, isa crosssection on line 5 5 of Fig. 4. Fig. 6, is a section of Fig. 4 taken on line a-a. Fig. 7, is

a side elevation of weather strip for top and 1 bottom and meeting rail of sash. Fig. 8, is Fig. 9, is a side view of toe pocket. Fig. 10, is a back view of toc ocket, Fig. 11, is a side View of heel pocket.

ig. 12, is a front view of heel pocket. Fig. 13, is a part elevation of sash open with weather strip in place. Fig. 14, is a part ele- Vation of sash closed with weather strips in lace. Fig. 15, isa section on line b-b of ig. 13. Fig. 16, is a section on line c-c of Fig. 14. Fig. 17, is a section on line cld of Fig. 13.' Fig. 1S, is a section on line e--e of Fig. 14. Fig. 19, is a section on line f-f of Fig. 14. Fig. ,20, is a section through meeting rail of sash closed, Fig. 22, is a striking plate for end of strip. Fig. 21 is a horizontal Sffifm tlimltfl'i stilo ni shunt. metal .Qnsli Si mila r letters refer to similar parts throughoutthe several views.

The sash A and B have grooves g cut in edges ad'accnt pullewv stiles and between cord grooves ll? and face of sash l'hc sash A has a groove i. eut in tcp rail in edge adjacent head of fran'ie between -fford grooves .lf and face of sash. The sash A has a groove cut in inceting rail in edge adjacent meeting rail of sash B. The sash B has a` groove in cut in lower rail in edge adjacentsill. ln connection with grooves g in sash are cut mortiscs i. In pulley stiles C are cut mortiscs J.

The weather strip Fig. 4 is composed of a metal strip l) bent lengthwise U shape and with lower end turned and soldered so as to form a solid striking end, second a felt, rubber, or asbestos strip E doubled lengthwise and inserted between sides of metal strip with cushidn ,edge outward and fastened in place; and thirc, metal blades F projecting through slits in metal strip and cushion strip and attached rigidly to n'ietal strip. The edges 0 and p of blade. F incline downward in manner to fit between surfaces rand sof Fig. 9. The rounded edge g of bla de F 'tits into con cave sidetof Fig. 11. '.lhctoe pocket Fig. 9, is inserted into mortiscs i of sash ll and is attached to sash with screws through holes u,- the heel pocket Fig. 11, is inserted into mortiscs of pulle",v stiles and is attached with screws through holes n. 'lhc sash B being removed 'from between pulle)r stiles has inserted into its grooves g the, weather strip Fig. et, with blades F entered into pocket Fig. t), with lower end w projecting below bottom of sash, and with rounded edge q flush with edge of sash. (Fig. i7.) The sash being put haelt into place in a. raised position and then closed down,A th(` end in of weather strip vstrikes the plate on sill at :tcausing the edge o of blade to slide i. on the surface r of'toe pocket and thc rounded edge ff to enter the heel pocket at t with the result that. the cushion lC comes in contact with the surface of pulley stile, spreading and packing tight the space ll between sash and pulley stile. When the sash l is again raised the surface s of toe pocket impingcs upon the edge y) of the blade, forcing the rounded edge q against the upper portion of the concave surface t of -t-hc heel pocket, causing the blade to come out of thc heel pocket and reenter the toc pocket thereby carrying the Weather strip hack to its original posi tion and allowingr the sash to slide up freely. t.

The Weather strip in upper sash A operates in the same manner as in the lower sash B eX- cept in .a reversed position, the projecting end w striking the plate at head of Window frame.

.The grooves h at top of Window Z et meetingv rails vand m at bot-tomfo'f Window have inserted into them ni'eather strips Fig. 7 made in seme manner as Weather strips Fig. 4, With the exception that they have no blade and are xed tightly in place in the grooves with a. part of cushion projecting so as to j amtightly against head and sill of WindoT and against meeting rail of opposite sash, packing tightly anyv spaces that might there exist. (Fig. 19 and Fig. 20). Fig.'21, shows how this automatic concealed Weather strip is to be applied to sheet metal sesh showing groove provided for reception of 'Weather strip.

a transwgerse blade secured thereto, said blade having pointed end projecting on one side of said` bnr and a rounded end projecting beyond'the other side of said bar,seid closure and said frame havin@ recesses respectively adapted to be envagerhy said ends to move said bar longitudmellj,v and laterally.
